(1,638 posts)23. Dear Dad
I should have been voting Democratic long before this since your party has been running on an abortion ban since before I was old enough to vote. But you also taught me to give the republicans the white man pass - to give them the benefit of the doubt even while they fought to curb my rights. You also taught me the republican party was the party of national security and law and order. Now that I look back, it was all bullshit. Republicans have been so corrupt in office and ham-fisted at international crises. Meanwhile, the Democratic party has been defending the expansion of rights for all law-abiding people while at the same time demonstrating better attention to ethics and deft handling of issues, both domestic and international. Basically Dad, you brainwashed me. I'm leaving your white nationalist cult and I'm encouraging you to do the same.
